"Clock Kid" seeking 15 million

’Clock kid’ seeking $15 million in damages
Two months after “clock kid” Ahmed Mohamed made international headlines, new details of his controversial arrest emerged Monday in a letter his attorney has sent to school and city officials in Irving, Tex.
As many as seven adults teamed up to interrogate the 14-year-old boy after a teacher mistook his homemade clock for a bomb and pressured him to sign a confession, according to the “letter of demand” from his lawyer warning of plans to file a $15 million suit.
Ahmed’s September arrest, deemed an overreaction by many observers, drew waves of sympathy and extensive news coverage; President Obama invited him to join several other science-inclined students at the White House’s “Astronomy Night” last month.
But his family, which shortly thereafter took up a benefactor’s offer to relocate to Qatar, argued in the letter that the boy’s reputation has been “permanently scarred.” They are seeking not only financial reparations but written apologies from the city’s mayor and police chief.
“Everyone in the country and around the world believes this has been a wonderful experience for Ahmed’s family, and in some ways, it has been,” said Anthony Bond, a family friend. “But now they are settled in Qatar, they have realized they are tremendously traumatized.”
I agree they went too far but DAMN

you know they don't ask for what they think they'll get. if you have soft tissue injuries you ask for a miliilion. that's how it goes.

he's going to (and should) get a lot of money, though.

 

[TNHarley]

I wonder if they realize they didn't help their cause for leaving America and moving to a State sponsor of terrorism?

 

[SassyIrishLass]

Tell the little shit and his family to pound sand...maybe Syrian sand?

[TheOldSchool]

Lol this could end up being a very expensive lesson for Texas schools

Poor baby. Only got national press and recognition by the President.

Poor baby. Only got national press and recognition by the President.

if your kid was treated like him when he should have been handed the school science medal, you wouldn't be saying that.

maybe if he was wearing a cross????

 

[TNHarley]

recognition by the President.

Another divisive move by our inept "leader"

 

[TNHarley]

Poor baby. Only got national press and recognition by the President.

if your kid was treated like him when he should have been handed the school science medal, you wouldn't be saying that.

maybe if he was wearing a cross????

Regardless, he shouldn't have done that.

 

[saveliberty]

Wait until he goes jihad....

 

[S.J.]

Not like we didn't know this was coming. I wonder how much of his money will go to funding terrorism. Plenty, if his parents and sister have anything to say about it.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

The Clock Boy Junior Jihadist reputation is scarred.

wow

 

[TNHarley]

The Clock Boy Junior Jihadist reputation is scarred.

And then moves to Qatar

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Poor baby. Only got national press and recognition by the President.

We should send those clocks, maybe with added silly putty, to Democrat politicians. They need to tell time, right?

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Obama will pay him, from taxpayer funds, of course

 

[Pogo]

Wait until he goes jihad....

The Clock Boy Junior Jihadist reputation

He's a Sufi.

Thanks for playin' and be sure to play the home version of the "They all look alike to me" bored game.
